ANCHOR DOWN WITH LEADERSHIP

This is something that the Lakeland Athletic Department piloted last spring with a few of our student-athletes, but we want to take it a step further. Beginning this Spring, Wednesday, March 20th, The Lakeland Atheltic Department will begin holding leadership seminars for all student-athletes at Lakeland (High School & Middle School). The name - Anchor Down with Leadership (ADL) comes from one of our departments branded taglines "Anchor Down." We want our student-athletes to drop their anchors and be unwavering in the area of effort, mindset, and leadership.
With that, our department understands that those principles and components must be facilitated and implemented by our current leaders and mentors within Lakeland.
ADL will take place in the mornings at 7:00am. They will be open to all student-athletes (High School & Middle School). These small seminars will be led by Athletic Director, Roman Smith, along with other coaches, and potential guest speakers.
We are excited to add another positive resource and influence for our student-athletes.
